The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1254 - 1252: The Storm is Coming!

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1252: The Storm is Coming!

A piece of music, exquisitely sublime and peerless in beauty, akin to heavenly sounds, began from Hong Su’s fingertips.

Lin Bai, below the Poison Abyss, had been entangled with the White Snake for three whole days.

At this time, Lin Bai was already at the end of his strength.

And finally, Hong Su had managed to soothe the White Snake.

The White Snake, tucked below the Poison Abyss, coiled up again into a ball, its blood-red eyes gradually closing.

Breathing slowly and gasping.

A bit of frost mist, emanating from the nostrils and mouth of the White Snake, began to gather below the Poison Abyss!

Having played the soul-soothing melody for three days and nights, Hong Su also appeared pale, her figure staggering.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai’s body rapidly shrank, reverting to his original form!

"At last, it has fallen asleep,"

Saint Hong Su collapsed among the White Bones, her face pale as if she was about to die.

But after Lin Bai reverted to his original form, the injuries on his body simultaneously burst forth, exceeding the resistance of his physical body, and he fainted directly underneath the Poison Abyss!

Lin Bai’s injuries were too severe.

Even with the body of a Giant God, he could hardly bear the damage from the White Snake!

In Lin Bai’s body, numerous bones were broken, countless meridians were severed, and no one knew how much blood had been shed within him.

Hong Su, having consumed much of her mental strength and power in playing the soul-soothing melody, now lacked even the strength to stand.

Now, both Lin Bai and Hong Su lay unconscious underneath the Poison Abyss.

There was a faint sense they would sleep there with the White Snake!

When the two fainted, the ancient zither in Hong Su’s hands, swept up by the frost mist exhaled by the White Snake, autonomously formed a protective light curtain about ten zhang in size around them!

This ancient zither was no ordinary object.

It had the power to protect its master automatically!

...

Time swiftly passed.

Beneath the Poison Abyss, the frost mist grew denser.

A month later, Lin Bai, who had fainted, slightly furrowed his brows, and his heavy eyelids gradually opened a sliver.

"Where is this..."

Lin Bai opened his eyes, looked around, and saw a black and red ancient zither on the ground emitting a charming glow, holding up a massive protective light curtain that kept the external frost mist at bay.

"Poison Abyss!"

Seeing the frost mist, Lin Bai understood at once.

He was still under the Poison Abyss.

Lin Bai’s mind gradually cleared, and he slowly recalled the events before he fainted.

The fierce battle with the White Snake.

Then Hong Su played the soul-soothing melody.

Afterward, they both fainted from severe injuries!

Lin Bai gave the ancient zither another look, stood up to check the protective light curtain, and his expression darkened, "This ancient zither seems extraordinary, and this protective light curtain is still intact."

"But this place is still no good land; it’s better to leave early."

As he thought this, a heart-wrenching pain emanated from Lin Bai’s chest, turning his face instantly purplish.

He then looked toward Hong Su, still unconscious on the ground.

"Did she already know that Ye Suxin was pregnant with my child?"

At this moment, Lin Bai’s eyes grew particularly unfriendly.

In his eyes, a chilling light glared at Hong Su, murder intent spreading.

Subsequently, Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the ground, operated the technique formula, and took out Elixir Pills from the storage bag, consuming them one by one.

Lin Bai began to heal.

Now, having learned of Ye Suxin’s pregnancy, and with the affairs of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and the Five Poison Sect already concluded, Lin Bai could hardly wait to go to Ye Suxin’s side!

"Once the injuries are healed, I will leave this place,"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, focused down, and began healing.

Three days later.

Under the effects of a large amount of Healing Pills, Lin Bai’s injuries had mostly healed, and although not yet back to his peak stage, he was not far off.

At this moment, Hong Su’s eyebrows lightly touched, and she gradually came to.

Like Lin Bai before, her eyes initially showed some confusion, then she suddenly realized.

Seeing Lin Bai sitting cross-legged and healing, she faintly said, "We are not dead yet?"

Lin Bai looked at Hong Su, his eyes suddenly flashing with a fierce light.

Hong Su was startled by Lin Bai’s gaze, and coldly said, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Bai coldly said, "Did you already know about Ye Suxin being pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Hong Su scornfully sneered, "That depends on you, Lin Bai. Do you still remember what beastly things you have done?"

Lin Bai remained silent.

"Back then, in the Primordial World, Suxin desperately wanted that Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower."

"And you? You didn’t just compete with her for it, you also injured her."

"Do you still remember how helpless she looked?"

Hong Su coldly looked at Lin Bai, saying with a sneer.

Lin Bai reflected on the past, when he was in the Primordial World competing with Ye Suxin for the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, he indeed fought with her and injured her.

Hong Su sneered, "Do you still remember what she looked like then?"

"She was almost lying on the ground, begging me to help her snatch the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower!"

"Lin Bai, do you still remember her from that time?"

Hong Su’s words were pressing as she stared at Lin Bai and said coldly.

A trace of self-reproach appeared on Lin Bai’s face.

Hong Su sneered, "As a bystander at that time, witnessing that scene, do you think I would still tell you about it?"

"I told you, Lin Bai, the Earth Core fire Lotus Flower is very important to her, more than you need it!"

"But you still acted single-handedly, with the intention to snatch the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower as if whoever stood in your way had to die!"

"Lin Bai, I’ve said before ..."

"I said I was waiting to see the day you suffer immensely!"

"How is it? The taste of such suffering must be unbearable now."

Hong Su said with a sneer.

Lin Bai stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on Hong Su, and said, "Speaking of the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, now I remember, you indeed said that she needed this Spiritual Medicine more than I did!"

"But why?"

"The Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, with its fiery medicinal properties, consuming it is like burning in intense flames. This isn’t something a pregnant woman needs."

Lin Bai looked coldly at Hong Su, "You, all of you, how much more are you hiding from me?"

Hong Su shook her head and smiled, "I don’t want to keep it from you anymore, it’s too tiring!"

"After all, this is the responsibility you should bear!"

"Previously, Suxin didn’t let me tell you!"

"Now that you already know about the child, I’ll tell you everything!"

Hong Su stated, staring at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked coldly at Hong Su.

Hong Su sneered, "The reason Suxin needs the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower is that she needs the Fire Spirit Power in this Spiritual Medicine to suppress the Ice Extinguishing Skill within her body!"

"Ice Extinguishing Skill?" Lin Bai asked with a frown.

Hong Su smiled, "After Suxin returned to the Miracle Ridge, she was discovered by Ye Wuhuan to be pregnant."

"Ye Wuhuan, to preserve the reputation of the Imperial Clan of the Holy Night Dynasty and to protect Ye Suxin’s reputation, used the Ice Extinguishing Skill to seal her fetus in ice!"

"But the Ice Extinguishing Skill is an extremely cold and yin technique; ordinary Warriors who are affected by the Ice Extinguishing Skill will be frozen, and the longer the freezing lasts, the greater the damage to the Warrior!"

"This Ice Extinguishing Skill is so harmful to Warriors, let alone an unborn baby!"

"If the Ice Extinguishing Skill continues to seal the fetus, over time, even if the Ice Extinguishing Skill is released, the fetus will suffer unimaginable consequences!"

"At best, the root bones will be damaged, and after birth, the body will be frail and unable to cultivate martial arts!"

"At worst ..."

Hong Su paused here, her voice trailing off.

Lin Bai, hearing the extent of damage the Ice Extinguishing Skill could do to Warriors, let alone the fetus.

Hearing Hong Su not continuing, Lin Bai asked, "At worst, what?"

Hong Su’s expression turned somber, "At worst ... it might result in a miscarriage!"

After much deliberation, Hong Su still decided to reveal the consequences of the Ice Extinguishing Skill to Lin Bai.

After finishing, Hong Su looked at Lin Bai!

Hong Su thought that after hearing this, Lin Bai would be furious.

But contrary to her expectations, after hearing it, not only was there no killing intent on Lin Bai, but he also didn’t rage.

Instead, Lin Bai’s killing intent retracted back into his body ...

And his face became even calmer!

His entire demeanor quickly turned ice-cold.

Hong Su couldn’t feel any warmth from Lin Bai’s body.

It was as if the Lin Bai standing in front of her had turned into a block of ice ...

This feeling made Hong Su feel slightly suffocated!

After a while, Lin Bai cracked a cold smile, "Heh! Was it Ye Wuhuan who did it?"

Hum—

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, the moment Hong Su raised her eyes to meet Lin Bai’s, she felt a shiver run down her spine, her scalp tingle, and cold sweat poured down.

Because Hong Su saw that Lin Bai’s eyes were filled with indifference!

This indifference was not merely physical!

It was coming from the depths of his soul!

Being stared at by Lin Bai, Hong Su felt as if her own soul was threatened by a sword at her throat!

Hong Su swore that this was absolutely the most terrifying gaze she had ever encountered in her life!
